Audrey Schmidt

Hometown: Vienna, Virginia

University: Covenant College

Field of Study: Sociology

Internship: Safe Families for Children

More about Audrey: In my four years at Covenant College, I found an incredible community in Covenant’s Hall life that nurtured authentic relationships. Throughout my time in college, I was able to grow deeper in my relationships with friends and the Lord. This community provided opportunities to lead through hall events, pranks, and more. I studied Sociology where my love of understanding others and how their environments and experiences have shaped them was broadened. With my major, I learned to see common things in life with new and unique perspectives. For a typical afternoon after classes, I was found with friends climbing, playing spike ball or pickle ball, and then going to the cliffs to see the sunset.

Interests: Traveling, hiking, climbing, spending time outdoors with friends, and exploring new places.
